How to Make Strawberry Cheesecake Truffle Balls

Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture

In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue beating until fully combined. Gently fold in the chopped or mashed strawberries and graham cracker crumbs until evenly distributed.

Shape the Truffles

Use your hands or a small cookie scoop to form the cheesecake mixture into 1-inch balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before dipping.

Coat with White Chocolate

Melt the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Once the truffles are firm, dip each one into the melted white chocolate, coating it evenly. Lift with a fork and allow excess chocolate to drip off.

If desired, sprinkle the crushed freeze-dried strawberries on top for extra color and flavor. Return the coated truffles to the parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for another 30 minutes to set the chocolate coating.

Serve and Store

Once the chocolate is fully set, your truffles are ready to enjoy! Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Tips for Success

• Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened for easier mixing
• Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor
• Chill the truffles before dipping to ensure they hold their shape
• Optional freeze-dried strawberries add a professional, colorful finish
